"Brother, please have some tea." Shen Li poured two cups of tea, and pushed one of the cups to Shen Mo.

Shen Mo didn't touch him, but still stared at him: "Why are you here?"

Shen Li didn't answer, but took a sip of tea and said expressionlessly, "If I were you, when you found out my identity, you should pretend nothing happened. This would be good for everyone."

"Pretend nothing happened? How is that possible!" Shen Mo stood up abruptly, gnashing his teeth, "Shen Li, tell me the truth, why on earth did you appear here?"

Shen Li chuckled, raised his head and looked directly at Shen Mo: "It's very simple, I escaped."

Shen Mo's eyes narrowed slightly, and his eyes were full of disbelief.

"Escape?" When he spoke again, his voice trembled slightly, "No wonder my father has been unable to contact you since you went to Baiyujing. He sent people to visit relatives in the imperial city, but they were all stopped. Not in the imperial city?"

"Yeah, I'm not here." Shen Li said truthfully, "I escaped the second day after I got married, so naturally you can't find me."

"You..." Shen Mo didn't know whether he was surprised by his straightforward admission, or whether Shen Li was able to escape from Bai Yujing on the second day of his wedding. He paused for a long time before saying in a trembling voice: "You are so brave!" !"

This reaction was not at all unexpected by Shen Li.

He thought of what happened to the original owner in the book, and his heart was filled with unknown anger, but his voice was still steady and unhurried: "What if you don't run away? My father gave me as a gift without caring about the relationship between father and son. Why should I care about my father?" Him? If I don’t run away, why don’t you just be obedient, help him deliver news from the palace, help him plot rebellion, and finally be abandoned by you as an outcast?”

"What are you talking about..."

"That's all." Shen Li interrupted, "I didn't expect to reunite with my brother this time, but that's it. After I go out from here, I hope that my brother will not reveal my identity, and don't mention it to anyone. And. Otherwise... it will really harm the Yongding Hou Mansion."

Shen Mo's expression was extremely gloomy, but under the extreme anger and astonishment, he vaguely noticed something weird in Shen Li's words.

"How could the Lord Tianyu allow you to escape?" Shen Mo asked coldly, "If you really escaped from Baiyujing, how could the Lord Tianyu conceal the news for you, and didn't even take action against the Yongding Hou Mansion?"

"Who knows." Shen Li played with the rim of the cup with his fingers and shrugged, "Maybe that dog emperor really likes me."

Shen Mo: "..."

Shen Mo's expression was a little dazed, and he didn't know how to answer this sentence at all.

Shen Li fled from Bai Yujing, but Tianyu Kingdom didn't make any noise, and even occasionally there were rumors from the palace that the King of Tianyu and his concubine were in love with each other.

What kind of drug was drugged by this person to pamper him so much?

He still calls him the dog emperor? ? ?

Shen Mo's mind was muddled and he couldn't figure it out, and suddenly he remembered another thing, and tried to stay awake and said, "Okay, let's not mention how you escaped for the time being."

He pointed to the door, which was the direction of Qi Changzhao's bedroom: "What's the matter with that Immortal Jiyun? Who is he?"

Shen Li said: "He is just a monk who travels all over the world, helping the world and saving people, what's the matter?"

"You know what I'm asking, Shen Li." Shen Mo said with a solemn expression, "Don't think I didn't see it, you're flirting with him in public, and the entire Xiangguo Mansion will soon know about it. You know what you're doing ?"

"..." Shen Li remained silent for a long time, and pressed the center of his eyebrows helplessly, "Brother, you really misunderstood this, I have nothing to do with Daoist Ji Yun..."

"Really?" Shen Mo sneered, "Maybe I'm blind."

Shen Li: "..."

Shen Mo ignored his reaction, and reprimanded sharply: "Do you know how ruthless that dog emperor Qi Changzhao is? Even if he can bear you to escape from the imperial city, you are still his only imperial concubine in name. If he knows you If you are entangled with these messy people, do you want to die?"

Shen Li's eyebrows trembled, but he didn't know how to answer.

Seeing that the young man who was still imposing just now was silenced by him, Shen Shizi raised his cup and sipped his tea with satisfaction, unfolded his folding fan and slapped it twice leisurely, as if he was a winner.

Shen Li had a headache, thought for a while, and deliberately put on a pitiful and innocent look: "Brother, you really misunderstood this time, it wasn't that I wanted to entangle with Daoist Ji Yun, it was that person... it was he who was always there... pester me, I don't want to associate with him."

He was always cute, and once his expression softened, he was even more cute. Coupled with his miraculous acting skills, he was particularly bluffing.

"Really?" Shen Mo frowned, and slammed the folding fan shut in his hand, "It's unreasonable, that bastard dares me to tamper with the people of Yongding Hou Mansion, I'll send someone—"

As he said, he was going to settle accounts with Qi Changzhao, but Shen Li quickly stepped forward and held him down: "Don't, don't, don't worry! Brother, don't worry..."

Shen Li pushed him down on the stool, and persuaded softly: "Brother doesn't know how to reason, how can you beat him, don't be impulsive."

When Shen Mo came back to his senses, he also felt that he was a little impulsive. He coughed lightly, took another sip of his tea in a concealed manner, and asked, "Then what do you think?"

Shen Li said: "You don't have to worry about it, brother. When he completes the entrustment of Master Xiangguo and subdues the monsters, he will naturally have to leave here. By then, won't he be able to pester me anymore?"

Shen Mo pondered for a moment, then nodded: "That makes sense."

Just as Shen Li breathed a sigh of relief, he heard Shen Mo say, "Well, let him conquer the monsters. As for you, stay here obediently for me, and when the matter is over, I will personally send you back—"

"Where are you taking him?" Shen Mo hadn't finished speaking when a voice came from outside the door, interrupting his words.

The door of the room opened suddenly, and Qi Changzhao stood outside the door expressionlessly, looking at Shen Mo coldly.

Shen Li: "..."

Shen Mo: "..."

There was an eerie silence in the room.

Shen Mo was stared at by Qi Changzhao, and immediately swallowed back his words before he finished speaking, and almost bit his tongue.However, he grew up in rich clothes and jade food since he was a child, and he is also a dignified son, so how could he show timidity in front of a monk who didn't know where he came from.

It took him a moment to adjust his emotions, he coughed lightly, stood up, and returned to the calm and unfazed son in front of Gu Xiangguo: "I'm here to tell you..."

"The prince is here to tell us to leave quickly!" Shen Li said first.

Shen Mo's expression froze, and he turned his head to look at Shen Li suspiciously.

Shen Li hurriedly gave him winks.

Perhaps it was because of the blood connection that there was still some tacit understanding between the unfamiliar brothers. Shen Mo almost instantly read what Shen Li meant from the hint in Shen Li's hasty eyes.

- Can't reveal his true identity.

Shen Li's identity has a lot to do with it, and it's not good for anyone to say it here.

Shen Mo quickly figured out the joints, and said in a low voice, "That's right, it's still half a day's drive away from Lingwu Mountain you're going to, and it will be dark any later."

"Don't worry about it." Qi Changzhao said expressionlessly, "We will go with the sword, and we will be there in a stick of incense."

Shen Mo's face suddenly became very exciting.He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something more, but Shen Li hurriedly pushed him out of the door.

While pushing, he lowered his voice and whispered in his ear: "Don't worry, brother, I will take care of this, you can go back quickly."

Shen Lian dragged and helped the man away, then turned back to the bedroom, only to find that Qi Changzhao was already sitting at the table, took the cup of tea he had just drank, and took a leisurely sip.

Shen Li: "..."

Seeing him come back, Qi Changzhao raised his eyes to look at him: "I said earlier, you don't need to hide it from him, it doesn't matter if he knows everything."

"It's not enough, trouble." Shen Li shook his head, "Besides, I'd rather have less than one more thing, it doesn't matter if he knows my identity, but if he knows yours, wouldn't it be a big trouble? "

"What's more..." Shen Li stepped forward, leaned into Qi Changzhao's ear and whispered, "You said earlier that you came to investigate the affair between Yongdinghoufu and Gu Xiangguo. What's the matter, Your Majesty? I told a lie, and I forgot it so quickly?"

Shen Li admired Qi Changzhao's handsome face with satisfaction, and patted him on the shoulder with a suppressed smile, and said leisurely, "Let's go, Your Majesty, it's time to go."

A while later, a carriage set off from Biandu and headed towards Lingwu Mountain.

Shen Li leaned in the carriage and looked out the window, just as he was about to open his mouth, Qi Changzhao fed him a freshly peeled and cored lychee.

The sweet and fruity aroma instantly filled his mouth, Shen Li was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.

"Is it delicious?" Qi Changzhao picked up another one from the fruit plate, the bright red skin made his fingertips white and slender.Whether the hands are holding a sword or peeling fruit, their movements are impeccable.

Shen Li swallowed a mouthful of the pulp, his mouth was full of sweet taste, and he narrowed his eyes comfortably: "Of course it's delicious. His majesty Tian Yu personally fed it, can it not be delicious?"

Qi Changzhao smiled without answering, and continued to help him peel the lychees.

Shen Li asked: "The promised sword is just a stick of incense. This carriage is wobbly. When will it arrive?"

"Don't worry, the monsters can't run away." Qi Changzhao said in a gentle voice without raising his head, "I don't know what's going on in Lingwu Mountain. This saves spiritual energy."

Shen Li was startled, silent for a moment, then turned to look out the window.

"looking at what?"

Qi Changzhao's voice suddenly came from beside his ears, Shen Li froze, and moved to the side uncomfortably: "No..."

Qi Changzhao turned his head to look at the red earlobe of the other party, concealed the gentle smile in his eyes, and raised one hand to support the window as if unintentionally.From this posture, it seemed as if Shen Li was completely wrapped in his arms.

"...I have already asked someone to find out that the north of Lingwu Mountain is the place for ancestor worship in Changlu Kingdom. During the few days of ancestor worship, all the passages from the north to the mountain were heavily guarded, while the south was rarely populated. It is said that it is the same as The maid next to Lord Ning said that Princess He Ning took her to avoid the guards that day, and wanted to go to the south of Lingwu Mountain to play, saying that she was looking for a mountain temple. Halfway through, the maid suddenly fainted. At that time, the princess has disappeared."

With a steady voice, Qi Changzhao explained to Shen Li slowly, but Shen Li couldn't quite listen.

The familiar breath penetrated everywhere, Shen Li's whole body was stiff, his back was straightened, and he tried his best not to touch him.

Qi Changzhao didn't speak for a long time, as if he was waiting for his response.

Shen Li clenched the hem of his clothes tightly with his fingers hanging on his legs, and said reluctantly: "So, we are going to go up the mountain from the south? And the mountain temple—"

Before he finished speaking, the wheels suddenly ran over a depression in the ground.The car body shook violently, Shen Li couldn't help falling backwards, and finally his back touched the warm body.

Qi Changzhao's low-pitched laughter clearly reached Shen Li's ears, Shen Li's face was burning hot, and he was about to get up, but was stopped by Qi Changzhao's arm.

"Don't go." Qi Changzhao whispered in his ear, "I'm not doing anything else, let me give you a hug, okay?"
